Define Perfect: Spotlight on a Gold Award Project

For
Courtney Shelton’s Gold Award project, she decided to initiate a positive-image boosting internet movement aimed at highlighting the perfection in others so
they may see it in themselves. Courtney’s mission is to redefine perfect.

“The problem that I
want to tackle in the world? People who feel the need to fit molds created for
them by society, the people they associate with, or themselves. I want to
redefine the word “perfect” so that instead of being some unattainable label,
it is something that people can use to describe things that may not be flawless
but are exactly the way they should be.”

Not
only is Define Perfect an active blog and Facebook Community, Courtney is also
spreading the word on Twitter via #defineperfect @defperfect and #defineperfect on Instagram.

“My
intention is to get people involved with something that will make them feel more positive about themselves,” says Shelton. “Not
everyone who has bad days needs to be part of a rehab center or some sort of
online group that sends them encouraging and cheesy emails… I want people to
see the cheesiness for themselves, in real life. The goal: That everyone receives a compliment every day.”

There is much more to Define Perfect that is
worth checking out, including a built in measure of success. Also very
impressive is Shelton’s intent to target everyone, “every demographic.
Girls and boys. Young and old.” Definitely
